Spring is in the air, which is to say that race season will soon be upon us. To ready his common-rail Cummins-swapped, two-wheel drive, standard cab Ram 1500 for the upcoming summer of racing, Neal Nissen visited the local truth teller to see if his recent mods had paid off in the horsepower department. Bolted to Horsepower Proving Grounds’ Mainline Pro Hub dyno, the truck kicked out exactly 1,200 hp on fuel. That’s some pretty serious cheddar for a stock block 5.9L, which Neal added a set of 72mm over 92mm compounds to over the winter. You can catch Neal competing at ODSS events this summer.

It's not very hard to find a diesel cranking out four-digit horsepower these days—but that doesn’t make a 1,000-rwhp street truck any less impressive. The guys at All In Truck Performance just unstrapped this classic body GMC Sierra 2500 from the SuperFlow chassis dyno, where it made a cool 1,038 hp at the wheels—along with 1,540 lb-ft. The built LBZ Duramax under the hood is graced with Exergy Performance 60-percent over injectors and a 14mm stroker CP3, a quick-lighting 68mm Danville Performance VGT in the valley and an S480 atmosphere charger behind the passenger side headlight, and well-refined EFILive tuning.

After trashing two cast-iron deck-plate engines last year, Randy Reyes and the team at Randy’s Transmissions are pulling the trigger on a billet-aluminum bullet for 2025. All indications are that a block from Fleece Performance Engineering is getting the call, with Industrial Injection handling the build in Salt Lake City. The new, polished Cummins will power Randy’s “Red Delicious” ’06 Dodge Ram 3500, a truck that cleared 3,180-rwhp on the dyno last summer (albeit with carnage). In a recent post on social media, Randy left a #4K hashtag next to this photo. There is no need to speculate as to what his new horsepower goal is...

Common-rail injection may have conquered most of the diesel world at this point, but it’s still hard to beat an old-school, P-pumped Cummins that lives in the dirt. Bluegrass Diesel’s Josh Land just wrapped up this fresh build for customer, Justin Tipton, who will be pulling in the 3.0 smooth bore class (i.e. Limited Pro Stock) behind the wheel of “The Reaper,” a second-gen Dodge that’s no stranger to the winner’s circle. The P7100 you’re staring at came from the pump pros at Northeast Diesel Service. When Josh shared this mechanical monster on Facebook last week, the engine was being warmed up for a hot re-torque of the head studs.

Big news for ODSS events this year: Snyder Performance Engineering will present Friday night radial tire races at every ODSS venue. Things became official last week, after SPE and ODSS established the rules and particulars for the new attraction. The rules? Tire limit of 275 radial or 10.5 slick only, radial prep performed prior to all racing, $150 entry that goes toward the purse (the more that race, the bigger the purse…), a $1,000 win minimum, chip draw, and callouts allowed in the first round of racing only. Last but not least, racing will be open to any fuel type. Between the regularly scheduled Friday night grudge races and this new addition, ODSS events are going to be chock-full of action this summer.

Ford's patents are always fun to look over. The newest one looks to be addressing passing zone safety. Now, as Ford often says: “The ideas described within a patent application should not be viewed as an indication of our business or product plans." So, all we can do is make an educated guess as to what the patents will be used for. This one, as it appears, will use technology to communicate with other cars before passing them (or deciding not to pass). It'll look for passing lanes coming up, turns, etc. The biggest thing that caught our attention includes tech used for communicating with other vehicles. Could the car ahead be slowed down to allow a pass? The potential use is very intriguing.
